[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Jim and Robin are heading to Alaska! The Honda CR-V is packed and their trusty GO, L.E.O. (Low-Earth Orbiter), is ready for adventure.

You could see range after range of mountains, probably more, if the air wasn\u2019t hazy with smoke from the fires.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22416″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22410″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22411″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our CR-V and GO had no problem traveling this (or any of the previous 4500 miles we\u2019ve driven so far)! While this road was sometimes gravel, sometimes packed dirt and occasionally paved, the drive was pretty good, as long as you took it slow. Our GO, LEO, had to eat a lot of dust and suffer the indignity of gravel popping on his frunk, but he proudly made it to the top.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22408″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we drove across the Top of the World, it seemed pretty flat, but with sweeping views in all directions. We did see a very large porcupine having lunch on the side of the road. By the way, a group of porcupines is called a prickle!![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22409″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At mid-day, we crossed the border into the US…Poker Creek, Alaska.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22407″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22406″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It was kind of strange \u2013 we could bring our clementines into the US, but not the peels! So, there I was at the border, peeling a bag of them, then handing over the contraband peels to the border guard! While I was peeling, he entertained us with a story of hiking in the area and being startled by a herd of caribou \u2013 he only had a knife, no bear spray, and the one caribou looked menacing \u2013 so he ran like heck, without looking back – made it home safely ?<\/p>\n

We decided to have lunch in Chicken, Alaska. We followed one of the roads out of the airport (tiny as it was) and saw two very young moose cross the road to Chicken Creek! There are 3 businesses in Chicken: Downtown Chicken, Chicken Gold Camp and Town of Chicken! The story goes (from Milepost book) \u201cthat the early miners wanted to name the town Ptarmigan, but were unable to spell it and settled instead for Chicken, the common name in the North for ptarmigan\u201d. All of the town’s business sport large chicken themes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22405″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22404″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We chose the \u2018original\u2019 for our lunch stop. We had our picnic lunch and then at the Chicken Creek Caf\u00e9, got dessert from Susan\u2019s bakery with the \u201cBest Pie in Alaska\u201d. Jim had phenomenal apple\/cranberry pie a la mode and I had a gigantic incredible chocolate chip cookie. We HIGHLY recommend this place. And if we had not been picnicking, the chicken pot pie and other food offerings looked and smelled amazing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22415″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22414″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Favorite thought from from Chicken, AK:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22402″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We decided to stay in a motel overnight in Tok \u2013 definitely in need of showers! We actually had to call around to find a place with a vacancy because although Tok only has a population of 1,435, it is at the crossroad of the Alaska Highway and the Glenn Highway (to\/from Anchorage) and just miles from the intersection with the Klondike Loop (to\/from Dawson City). We stayed at the Golden Bear. Right next door was the Golden Bear restaurant. According to motel manager, her sister-in-law is the cook, and is Thai, and that\u2019s the only type of food she knows how to cook. We can say that she is a wonderful cook \u2013 it was fantastic Thai food!<\/p>\n

We stopped into the Alaska Dept of Fish and Game, right before they closed for the day. The woman there was very, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We needed the regulations (which are extremely complicated). She provided all the info we needed, much of it from personal experience. We headed out the next morning on the Alaska Highway.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22401″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we drove northwest, we were aware of Alaska Range, however, due to smoke\/haze, they were more like a ghost range. Closer to the road, the \u2018watch for moose\u2019 signs were accurate![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22400″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22399″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At Delta Junction, we continued on the Richardson Highway towards Fairbanks. As we crossed the Tanana River, we saw The Tanana River Pipeline Bridge, suspending a 1200 foot-long section of the pipeline across the river. Further along, we got a really good view of the braided Tanana River, although the mountains behind it were mostly obscured by haze\/smoke.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22398″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22397″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We stopped in the North Pole to gas up before taking the bypass around Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Road. There are several state campgrounds in the Chena River State Recreation Area. We chose to camp at Rosehip State Campground. There are 37 campsites and almost no one there! Most of the sites are very large and nicely shaded, with gravel drives for vehicles and large grassy areas for tents, etc. There are vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits. It says there is water, but what we pumped was reddish (maybe because it\u2019s not used much), so we used the water we carry with us.<\/p>\n

Our site was very close to the river and launch (for canoe or kayak). It is really beautiful and not too buggy, especially considering the proximity to the river.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22396″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22391″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After setting up and checking out the river (and there is a nice nature trail), we drove to the end of Chena Hot Springs Road, to purchase an Alaska fishing license for Jim. Along the way, we saw bald eagles and moose. The moose looked like very large, awkward horses![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22413″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22412″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We did not go into the Ice Museum or Hot Springs at the Chena Hot Springs Resort, but we did walk around a bit and saw these interesting metal sculptures.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22395″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22390″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On the way back to the campsite, we saw a moose mom and calf. They were magnificent with the binoculars, maybe not so impressive in the photo![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22394″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With the long days, Jim decided to put his new fishing license to use and donned his waders with the goal of fly fishing to catch (and release) Arctic Grayling. Happy to say that he was successful![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22389″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22388″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22392″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It was getting quite smoky from the nearby fires, which gave us an interesting sky, considering that this was NOT a sunset.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22393″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The next morning was too smoky to consider hiking or any outside activity, so we headed into Fairbanks. We visited the wonderful Museum of the North at the University of Alaska. There were so many interesting exhibits and artifact. We stepped outside briefly to make our picnic lunch, and it was still terribly smoky.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”22387″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After we finished in the museum, we hit the stores to re-provision for the next leg of the trip, then went to a movie and out to dinner.<\/p>\n

It rained all night, which was great for clearing the smoke out of the air, and not a problem for us in our cozy GO! We packed up quickly, and got back on the road.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22386″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22385″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
